Luteinizing hormone levels range

Common Questions and Answers about Luteinizing hormone levels range

hormone

In 2009, I took a blood test and my results for my LuteinizingHormone level is 14.8, and I have a history of irregular periods, what can I do to lower it to normal range? I've already taken hormone pills to regulate my period, but all that did was cause me to have heavy periods for 2 weeks straight so I discontinued taking them. I do want to have kids in the future, but in the meantime, what do I do to solve my problem?

Luteinizinghormone (LH, also known as lutropin [1] and sometimes lutrophin [2]) is a hormone produced by gonadotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH ("LH surge") triggers ovulation[3] and development of the corpus luteum. In males, where LH had also been called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH),[4] it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone.[3] It acts synergistically with FSH.

I had to get hormonelevels checked a year ago. The paper they gave me had my result and then the "norm" on the right-hand side. So let's see what I have here. These are what I had tested and their range of normal:
Testosterone (Free, Direct)- 0.0 - 2.2
Testosterone (Serum)- 14 - 76
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)- 0.0 - 76.3
TSH- 0.350 - 5.500
Prolactin (NON-pregnant) - 2.8 - 29.2
FSH (Serum)- Follicular- 2.5 - 10.2
Midcycle- 3.4 - 33.

from what i have read online testosterone can increase penis size during puberty only, once you have gone through puberty there is no way to increase the size of the penis with hormones.
i have an appointment scheduled later this month to get my hormonelevels evaluated because i have "hypogonadism" that is my testicles are small and my penis is also smaller than average, you should prob do the same. Let me know if this helps.

I tried posting this in the "ask the doctor" forum, but I guess it's already filled it's quota for the day so I guess I'll ask this here.
I had my hormones tested, again, because I started losing more hair than my normal. Anyway, my free & weak testosterone and the free & weak percentage testosterone were elevated - what could possibly cause this? My total serum testosterone is normal. Has anyone ever heard of this happening to a woman with the testosterone?

Pituitary hormones, Prolactin, ACTH, Growth Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), LuteinizingHormone (LH) will determine if pituitary function is adequate.
You're fatigued, because your thyroid is not producing enough hormones to keep you going. You will need to be placed on a thyroid replacement hormone that you will have to get as a prescription from your doctor.

It appears to increase progesterone by stimulating the release of a hormone called luteinizinghormone from the pituitary gland. Vitex is also thought to normalize excessive prolactin levels and promote fertility.

Antibodies can be present, too, before actual thyroid hormonelevels fall out of range, because Hashimoto's is progressive and as it destroys thyroid tissue, less hormones will be produced. Both the endo and your pcp "assume" that since your blood tests are "normal", you're just fine. They don't stop to consider what might be causing those symptoms.
You should also get vitamin B12 and vitamin D tested.

It increases rapidly just before ovulation occurs, about midway through the cycle (day 14 of a 28-day cycle). This is called an LH surge. Luteinizinghormone and follicle-stimulating hormonelevels rise and fall together during the monthly menstrual cycle.
ESTRADIOL: Estradiol is the most commonly measured type of estrogen for nonpregnant women. The amount of estradiol in a woman's blood varies throughout her menstrual cycle.

- LUTEINIZINGHORMONE SERUM: 1.6 Normal
T4 FREE - 01/24/13
Result:
- T4 FREE: 1.37 Normal
The endo also sent me for an MRI, which came back with nothing. He said that he has run out of options for finding the root cause and that I just have low t. He prescribed me androgel, which I started last week. I am on no other meds or supplements.
My questions are:
Any ideas what could be causing this?
If I have no major symptoms, do I need to be on androgel?
Any other tests I should have done?

118.18 pg/mL in a range of 35.0 to 155.0
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): 7.2 in a range of 0.8-7.6 mIU/mL
Estradiol: 48 in a range < 56 pg/mL
I would appreciate any orientation or suggestion if there is anything that can be done to improve these numbers. It worried me that it seems my total testosterone is low for a man my age as well as the higher value of % of free testosterone.
Thank you.

The amount of FSH in men normally remains constant.
The amounts of FSH and other hormones (luteinizinghormone, estrogen, and progesterone) are measured in both a man and a woman to determine why the couple can't become pregnant (infertility). The FSH level can help determine whether male or female sex organs (testicles or ovaries) are functioning properly.
Why It Is Done
A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test may be done to:
Help find the cause of infertility.

Hi! I am simply posting this to determine whether the following tests indicate hypothyroidism, and through what diagnosis do they. If anyone is familiar, I am also looking to see if the tests indicate hypogonadism. Is it primary or secondary? And to what diagnosis may this be caused? Here are the tests! Thank you: I look forward to all of your input.
Testosterone, Serum: 265 (348-1197)
This was concerning, so another more extensive test followed.
TSH: 2.360 (0.450-4.500)
LH: 4.2 (1.

I've done a bit of research and I find the range you gave above (7.7-58.5), often used in relation to LuteinizingHormone (LH), which is a hormone released by the pituitary. LH rises about mid cycle when ovulation occurs. It is used when women have difficulty getting pregnant, do not have regular periods, as well as other circumstances, such as determining the status of menopause. You would only be postmenopausal if you no longer have periods at all.

I am not quite sure what is going on with me lately, but I'd like to know if anyone can answer my question about my testosterone levels - and would menopause be the cause of my hormones going crazy - BUT yet, I am not into Menopause yet, only the Peri stage.
Here are my blood test results : If anyone has an idea of WHAT would cause my testosterone to be like this. I have searched online and can't find anything on this!

I found this info in an other forum and checked it against all my previous blood test reports and then I found out that I had PCOS for the past 3 yrs.
Female HormoneLevels
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Day 3 3-20 mIU/ml FSH is often used as a gauge of ovarian reserve. In general, under 6 is excellent, 6-9 is good, 9-10 fair, 10-13 diminished reserve, 13+ very hard to stimulate. In PCOS testing, the LH:FSH ratio may be used in the diagnosis.

Chaste tree berry acts on the hypothalamus and pituitary glands by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) production and mildly inhibiting the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The result is a shift in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, in favor of progesterone. The ability of chaste tree berry to raise progesterone levels in the body is an indirect effect, so the herb itself is not a hormone.

I believe you mistyped LS and it should have been LH which is LuteinizinghormoneHormone which is what tells your testicle to work and LH is on the low end indicating that the Pituitary isn't putting out enough LH and this is why the Dr want the MRI to see if you have a growth on the Pituitary, and don't worry cancer is very rare even if it is a growth and your Dr should have taken the time to explain this all to you instead of you wondering what's going on....

Your thyroid hormonelevels may be in range but they are low, TSH is low also, and it should be higher with low thyroid although it is a Pituitary Hormone, but Your Free T4 is only 20% in its range, Your Free T3 is higher (As it should be) at 42% of its range, but should be higher.

many people here have testified that they found it virtually IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight until they had their thyroid hormonelevels optimized FOR THEM. That means being well up into the range for most people. Not simply somewhere within range.
Also if you are or were tested ONLY for TSH. Then that is also not sufficient. TSH is a pituitary hormone NOT a thyroid hormone. TSH is highly variable and should only be used as a screening tool at best.

From the research i've read, this is due to insulin resistance which in turn affects the pituitary glands production of luteinizinghormone (LH) which is the hormone that makes testosterone.
Thyroid symptoms are known to occur in "normal" lab ranges. Posting your thyroid results can help to see if your thyroid hormones are in optimal range.
One study found 92% of diabetics had low RBC magnesium. Magnesium keeps insulin under control.
